Most words which originally had an.
exalted meaning have deteriorated in
their moral value with the passing
years. But now and then word re-
tains trace of its higher significa-
ton through all the changes of

Primarily it designated a demi-god,
one partaking of the divine nature
while still human. And to this day no
one counts person hero unless that
person gives evidence of higher nat
ure than the human average. And
even child whose lower nature is sub
ordinated to his higher is likely to be-
looked upon as hero. He. therefore,
who would be real hero. must so bear
himself as to show that his human nat

A VISION UNvAiLE0.

One day q mighty King whose pomp 'n'
pride
Were known and honored, chanted far ano
wide,
Was bowed in grief; his infant son had died
Great bells were tolling and nations moan
With every rite by wealth or kno"Sedee
Aourned with the monarch weeping on M
throne.
That nom o howell by the palace side
Contained pauper infant who had died,
Its ragged mother weeping at rs sioe.
Next day the royal cortege with its freight
Met this Door pauper At the graveyard gate;
The widow turned aside, compelledto wait
And when departing royalty gave room,
There. lone and lonely, N the twilight gloom,
She placed her psuper baby in its tomb.
Night came. The King, couched on his bed ol
state.
In visions saw an angel and its mate
Bear both these infants TO Heavens golden
gate.
But 10; the guardian waved his shining
lance,
And he who bore the prince. with modest
glance,
Kne,t low and bade his rscstlnt mate advance.
While through the portals angel voices cas-
And chanted welcomes in the sacred name
OF one who died On earth and bore its blame.
And much he marveled, as they marched
along.
To see that glorified and sanity throng
Select the pauper for its sweetest song.
Then, questioning an angel at his side.
1--WE care naught here" he said, 'for earthly
pride,
As for all souls our glorious Master died.
'.Yet mid the poor He spent His earthly day,
And most He loves though loving, all are they
Who through great tribulations find their way.
20 King! remember that thy earthly state
Is but gilded toy bestowed by fate,
Nor wealth nor pride can make thee truly
great"
The vision vanished; but thenceforth the King
Engraved its lesson on his signet ring,
And all the poor his kindly virtues sing.
No humble soul presents in vain its plea.
No pleading hearts his gentle presence fee,
No man SO patient and SO kind as he.
And whatsoever tempted by his pride,
He glances at the signets lettered side,
And finds thereon his monitor and guide.

Browning and Brahminism Discarded for
New Mental Disease.
Some friendly reader of this column
has sent me word that q new mania
has attacked Boston society. It is
more recent and almost more alarming
than the rage for Browning and Brah-
minism, and while it lasts is a source
of much anxiety. The technical name
of this new disease is Russophobia 1t
manifests itself, the writer says. in a
wild enthusiasm for the study of Rus
sian politics, religion and. indeed.
every thing pertaining to Russia. The
first symptom is fever for reading the
novels of Gogol and Tolstoi: the next
stage is one delirious delight in the
mysteries of underground Russia
and Isis Unveiled" When the dis
ease is at its height the patient hunts
up transplanted Nihilists with whom
he discusses the state of Russia Of
course, the victims of the mania have
formed themselves into club. and now
indeed the Car may tremble for his
life! He has managed to elude Mill
lists up to date at home, but now that q
determined club composed of young
women has decided that the selfs have
never been really freed and that Rus
sian peasants are the most abused peo-
pie in the world, Alexander might as
well shoot himself at once. Another
phase of this Russophobia which the
writer neglects to mention, however. is
the eagerness on the part of linguists
to learn one of the most difficult Ian
guages in the world and so be able to
read Gogol and To;stoi in the vernac-
ular. French and German and Italian
are mere child's play to the broken
backed. double jointed polysyllables of
the Slav. Yet Boston young people.

Both men reached to their belts. but
Dan had been drinking and his hand
trembled, so that, before his pistol had
been raised, he was covered by the
weapon of the other.
In the meantime the proprietor OF
the saloon, man of extraordinary
strength, came swiftly behind the
Irishman. as he stood gazing at his
opponent, and Selling both his wrists
raised his armed hand upward, holding
it as in a vice, at the same time saying:
'.Dan, you're drunk, and no match for
him tonight"
The man struggled for second or
two and was then disarmed by one OF
his friends, cursing every body mean
while and charging his enemy to meet
him in the morning or he would shoot
him at sight. Knowing the Irishman
would be armed again before he was
sober, Frenchy, careful to keep his eye
upon the group, edged himself side
wise out of the saloon.
The next day he was nowhere to be
seen. His non-appearance caused
much uncomplimentary remark, it be-
ing generally decided he was not the
game man he was supposed to be. All
through the morning the Irishman,
with several hangers-on, ranged
through the town, declaring he would
shoot the bloody frog-eater whenever
he could find him. The report of a
boy, who had gone to his home up the
canyon late the night before, that he
had seen, on his way. Rita, the Por-
tuguese girl, and smooth-faced man
walking back and forth near her faith
er's cabin, did not tend to soothe his
wrath, but he nevertheless took care to
keep himself perfectly sober.
The truth was, Frenchy knew his
adversary was intimate with a number
of desperadocs like himself, who. if he
offered fair fight, would he sure to in
some way arrange things to his disad-
vantage. He was not a favorite of the
gamblers and saloon proprietOrs.
There were beside two or three fell
lows who. likewise disappointed of the
fair Portuguese. naturally made conf
mon cause with Truckee Dan. He was
not sure of any one in the canyon on
whom he could depend. So he deter

In a terrible storm that swept the
Western lakes a year or two ago. q
Lake Superior iron steamer was
stranded upon . rocky reef. The pas
sengers, reused at five o'clock in the
morning by the sharp concession and
grinding noise. rushed on deck. Sud-
denly the steamer careened. and lay
on her side, wedged in among the
rocks. The bitter cold chilled the pas
sengers to the bone. and the furious
sea. breaking over the deck. swept off
many men and women. Shrieks Of
alarm and groans of despair were
heard above the roar of wind and
wave.
One man was calm. Captain Moor
moved among the frightened passen-
gers. risking his life to prevent panic
and to save those thrown down by the
combing pillows With his own hands,
many of the crew having been swept
away-he stretched lifeline from one
end of the deck to the other. and
showed the surviving passengers how
to hold on to it, encouraging them
with the assurance that daylight would
bring them relief from the shore.
While he stood looking to see that.
every one grasped the lifeline. a huge
wave knocked down the cabin and
washed the ruins over upon the Cap
tam. crushing him to the deck.
Il am lOstr he cried. Good by
hold on to the line"'
Another wave washed away the
debris. and released the Captain; but
his injuries chained him to the deck.
Daylight brought not the hoped for
relief from the shore. All that day.
while the storm ragged and the waves
washed over the doomed steamer. the
Captain spoke cheering words to the
despairing souls.
As darkness gathered over the tos-
sing waters, he said: Friends. let Us
all pray"'
He led them in prayer. Through
out that night of agony. his voice was
heard. putting heart into those near
him. and imploring help from God.
At daylight on the second morning
relief came. Several sailors. who had
jumped overheard, had succeeded in
swimming ashore. A line was thrown
from the land. and the survivors. after
forty-eight hours Of gazing into the
face of death, were rescued.
The passengers received one impress
sion which stamped itself upon them
even more deeply than the memory of
their sufferings and fears. 1t was.
made by the grand courage and sub
lime faith Of the captain.
